Lipstick - Do you still wear it?

[Jules]

I tend to put it on every time I go somewhere, even for a walk. It just makes me feel a little better. I need a bit of colour.

Yesterday we were going out and I made sure I had a comb and lipstick in my purse. Across the restaurant, there was a lady applying her lipstick at their dinner table. She had the mirror and obviously this was a normal routine for her. It doesn’t seem so common to see women refreshing their lipstick, even in the restroom, anymore. Maybe younger people don’t wear lipstick much now. Have you noticed.

 

[Tish]

Yes, I do still wear it, there is something about it that makes me feel complete.

 

[hearlady]

Yes. I need some color.

 

[Ruthanne]

I like to but put my makeup away. If I put it right out on the table I tend to use it more often.

 

[Gaer]

No, I forget all about lipstick.
Come to think of it, I never
DID wear lipstick.
Guess I should!

 

[jet]

I think some women look ridiculous when they attempt to give themselves the impression of a fuller mouth. First the botox injections, then they use a lip liner and then comes the lipstick. Time consuming and pointless. Unless they are auditioning for a circus clown.

For me a quick dab, that's it.

I always wear lipstick when I go out... always. I never go anywhere without a lipstick and a comb..like you Jules!

The young women here are very into their make-up... and botox, and fillers..in fact very often the make-up is so overdone it looks like a mask.. but I think we've all seen that.

Older women here tend to not wear it..at least during the day. You don't often see people walking around the lanes and fields with make-up on..

I think if you live in a hot country, you don't wear make-up unless going out for an evening.. I know I never did in Spain... but where it's isn't hot then people are more likely to wear it

I use aloe vera lip balm. It's clear, but enhances my natural lip colour. On my 2nd one. Must order more soon! It's a more "natural" look. Occasionally, I'll put a lipstick over it.

• 【All Natural】Made of pure natural botanical ingredients. It is rich in aloe vera moisturizing ingredients, which effectively improves the dryness and peeling of the lips.Moist Lips, Prevent Chapped Lips, Healthy and Safe, Color is NOT Easy to Fade.

My lips have lost most of their natural color and without lipstick, I look odd. So, it's lipstick on even if I'm just taking a walk. I don't want to scare the squirrels, y'know.

 

[Ronni]

I use chapstick obsessively because my lips get dry, but it doesn’t impart color.

If I’m going out, I use a frosted lip gloss over which I add a light coating of lipstick or lip pencil for an added pop of color

Ad I’ve aged my lips have become thinner and less defined, so I no longer take the time to outline my lips and define my cupids bow.

Pinky, this sounds interesting. Does it colour change for different people depending on skin tone. Sounds like those mood rings we used to have.

Where do you get it from? Amazon?

 

[Jackie23]

Yes, I still wear lipstick, usually a pale shade or just tinted lip gloss....I've toned down all makeup, it just seems to call attention to the wrinkles and age spots on me.

 

[hearlady]

I want to know too! @Pinky

 

[Marian]

I love makeup! I love it all! I was a makeup artist. I used to sneak my mother’s makeup and wear it to elementary school. I’m really sad now that makeup doesn’t look good on me anymore. I look like a clown with it.
I can still get away with some lipstick. I love to wear it always because I find that it keeps my lips from getting chapped.
I also wear a little cream blush.
I can no longer wear eye makeup because I have dry eye now

I love lipstick and make up in general. I don't wear too much, but I like to have an even tone to my face (I had acne as a teen and my skin is pink and splotchy without makeup even now at 60). I feel much more confident with lipstick on. Sometimes I even wear bright red if I'm feeling sassy!

 

[Jace]

A tinted (pinkish) lip balm..as my lips get chapped..it seems not just winter.

I put lip gloss on a lot, throughout the day and particularly when I'm in a tele-meeting as I'm concerned about my lips getting stuck on me teeth when talking. :/

Not for a long time

I used to wear black lipstick in the late 70s when the band used to dress up as KISS. Not on stage but just knocking about town LOL. I was Ace Frehley

 

[StarSong]

Almost never wore lipstick or chapstick because I dislike the way it feels on my mouth.

Virtually every day I put on little blush and under eye concealer to minimize dark circles. Also a swipe of eye liner when going out for something more interesting than errands.

 

[Wren]

Although I love make up and wear it every day, I have never liked lipstick and use a little Vaseline lip gloss each day instead

Anyone remember "Tangee" lipstick we used to buy at Woolworth's as kids?
It used to change the color of your lips to orange!

Yes, Lee .. it enhances the natural colour of every individual's lips. I bought a 3-pack from Amazon, and gave
one to my daughter.
